Call for Support

Hello fellow Christians – we are getting closer to the time where many lives will change for employees of Texas Instruments Inc – Tucson.  Most of you will be relocating to a new facility, and many in Make will be looking to new endeavors. I would like to present a proposal of having a few lunch meetings over the course of the next month or two to share how we’re feeling and perhaps pray for the employees, friends, TI, etc.

 

I am targeting lunch meetings for September 3^rd and September 17^th – noon in LaPlace.

 

I hope you can join me.

FW: Can I Borrow $25?

Thought I would share this that a friend shared with me.

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door

SON: 'Daddy, May I ask you a question?
DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.
SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow  some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities. ‘The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so the man had calmed down and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often.

The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' He asked. 'No daddy, I’m awake,' replied the boy. 'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for. The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy! He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled... Because I didn't have enough, but now I do, the little boy replied.  Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you. The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his son's forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love... If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

'The light of God surrounds us.
The love of God enfolds us.
The power of God protects us.
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are God is and all is well.'

From my home to yours - enjoy.

I needed to relocate your CVI meeting today to accommodate a longer meeting needing space. 2A was available so I reserved that for you. Ampere is also available until 1:00 if you would prefer staying in the Conference Center area but it does have a meeting scheduled to begin at 1:00. Let me know if you would prefer I reserved Ampere for you.

Thank you,
Evangeline
